Conclusion: Compared with warfarin, DOACs have more favorable efficacy and safety profiles among patients with atrial fibrillation.
PubMed 34985309 ↗Conclusion: The results of the NOAH-AFNET 6 and ARTESiA trials are consistent with each other. Meta-analysis of these 2 large randomized trials provides high-quality evidence that oral anticoagulation with edoxaban or apixaban reduces the risk of stroke in patients with device-detected atrial fibrillation and increases the risk of major bleeding.
PubMed 37952187 ↗Conclusion: The quality of studies evaluating rosacea treatments was generally poor. There is evidence that topical metronidazole and azelaic acid cream have a therapeutic effect. There is some evidence that oral metronidazole and tetracycline are effective. There is insufficient evidence concerning the effectiveness of other treatments. As many of these treatments are used for rosacea, good RCTs are urgently needed.
PubMed 14974010 ↗Conclusion: Effect of CBG to promote tumor shrinkage in NFPAs was low, while prevention of tumor progression after surgery was seen in half of the cases, with a low frequency of adverse events.
